The chargesheet, submitted before a special NIA court in Delhi, details what officials described as a meticulous, "almost laboratory-grade" approach adopted by the accused to fabricate and use IEDs.
According to the NIA, all 10 accused, including the main perpetrator Dr Umer Un Nabi (deceased), were linked to Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGuH), an offshoot of Al-Qaida in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS).
According to officials, raids were conducted at nine sites, including areas in Handwara (Kupwara district), Rafiabad (Baramulla district), as well as parts of Kulgam and Srinagar.
This is the latest development in the NIA’s ongoing probe into what investigators have described as a “white-collar” terror module, originally exposed by the Jammu and Kashmir Police.
Petitioner Dr Pankaj Pushkar sought a day-to-day trial in the case and a direction to the probe agency to file monthly status reports before the court-appointed oversight committee.
